Dave Weigel resigns. Fuck FishbowlDC.

The sad truth is that the Washington Post, in its general desperation for page views, now hires people who came up in journalism without much adult supervision, and without the proper amount of toilet-training. This little episode today is proof of this. But it is also proof that some people at the Post (where I worked, briefly, 20 years ago) still know the difference between acceptable behavior and unacceptable behavior, and that maybe this episode will lead to the reimposition of some level of standards.

Dave was a target from the get-go, although how a well-known erstwhile Liberal blogger can compromise himself by snarking on Conservatives in his personal correspondence, I’m not exactly sure. The “objectivity” issue is a silly fabrication that makes everyone but Weigel look like a dick in this matter. Fare forward, Dave.

From this Ezra Klein post it sound like the Journolist emails were leaked to Tucker Carlson after the list agreed that Carlson should not be a part of the list. Just sounds kinda dickish, not that I should be surprised.
